In the past Apple included earpods with their phones, and this was a relatively small problem, but ever since they and other manufacturers stopped doing that, this behavior has exploded.

It is stupid, the people are getting a worse experience of the video while disturbing others.

The worst offenders are not the video people, but the speakerphone callers.

This annoys me even more than the speaker video people, simply because there is zero excuse. The phone has everything needed to hold it to your ear and talk without the speaker.

It is also a problem for us IT guys, when we need to migrate users from one phone to another it is super annoying to deal with eSIMs

For me it boils down to it pretending to be different from Chrome while using the same rendering engine, thus keeping more power at Google.

As someone who lived through the time when IE was dominant and seeing the web stagnate until Mozilla released Firefox and began competing with new features and better speed, I never want to go back to a world with just one main rendering engine, we are sadly there again with Blink, but I am not going to support it.

lol no.

Especially not one run by a techbro.

I live in a suburb to the north of Stockholm, I have experienced the GPS jamming first hand.

There were a few days when my car's inbuilt GPS thought I was driving around in another suburb on the other side of the city.

Does anyone know if GPS has the abillity to do signed packets?

I mean, I'd rather the GPS fail completely, than giving me false data.

Why is the Korean e-tailer Coupang feared?

That is incorrect, they are just comically evil when it comes to protecting/creating business opportunities and preserving their power/influence, which is just 99.9%

Eh, who am I kidding, the US government is so tightly intertwined with business that their diplomats might as well be marketing officials for private industry.

When I grew up here in Sweden, milk came in these containers:

The design of milk packaging is quite interesting;

15 years or so ago the Brik was changed to this:

It was apparently done for two reasons:

1. EU regulations started requiring that milk packages were sold in resealable containers.
2. Customers had requested the same to enable storing the packages lying down.

A smaller version of the tetrahedron style package is still in use for coffee milk.

They don't have the capabillity to "admit" to anything.

You are falling into the same trap as the guy who had his development project deleted by an AI despite having had it "promise" not to do that.

The AI we use today don't have the understanding of "admitting" or "promising", to them, these are just words, with no underlying concept.

Please stop treating AI's as if they are human, they are absolutely not.

What makes the devs of RetroArch bad people?

Ever since the start of internet connected vehicles this has been on the table, before it wasn't really possible to manage subscriptions like this, now it is as easy as changing $SUBSCR_INF_ACP from a 0 to a 1 on your account to enable CarPlay, once you have paid.

Though, to be fair, I would like better integration with the onboard systems, something like Carplay lite.

It would basically present the content on the phone, music, podcasts, audiobooks, maps, etc. to the onboard infotainment system.

Apps with audio media would appear as audio sources, inside the audio sources, any menu would be presented in a standard UI.

Basically, the phone would simply send something like an XML file of how the menu should be displayed, and the infotainment has a rendering engine to render the UI in a style that is integrated with the car's UI.

That would solve one of the biggest issues with CarPlay/AA, the forced touchscreen.

In my 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV hatchback, I have a fantastic steeringwheel, it has plenty of excellent controls, regarding media, I have a volume wheel by my left thumb, I can also press it to pause the media, on the right side of the steering wheel I have buttons for skip/previous.

If I could interact with the menus in CarPlay using the thumbwheel and a separate back button, that would be amazing.

The wheel clicks when moving it, so if you could simply have it move the selection on the menu with every click it would be brilliant.

Though I would need another thumbwheel to set the volume....

My point is that if deeper integration of phone media in the infotainment system could enable a UI less dependent on a a touchscreen, I would love to try it.

Paying back quickly reduces the amount they can earn, lowering your credit score.

Straight-up lie.

No, it doesn't fit the definition of a lie, I didn't know any better, so it was ignorance, not a lie, it would be nice if you could edit and correct this line.

The way I understand it, to raise your credit score you need to slowly pay back your loans, so you pay back maximum interest.

You don’t understand it.

I wholeheartedly agree with you there.

Overall you do seem to know the subject better than me, so I will mostly defere to your judgement (apart from the thing about me lying).

EDIT: Thanks for the edit! (:
